Why am I more pissed over Trump and the GOP butchering a REALLY good Blue Oyster Cult classic than anything right now?! I can never listen to (Don't Fear) The Reaper the same way anymore.

Alexa, play "Saints of Violence & Innuendo" by Shinedown. (What it seems like the perfect song for this moment because we won't be a hostage or a scapegoat)

I asked ChatGPT to match governors to Justice League heroes. It said Josh Shapiro is Batman—which tracks, because the man’s always in the shadows fixing Gotham-level messes. #IWasBored

Maple Mama @maplemama20.bsky.social · 3d

Stephen Miller accidently says the quiet part out loud and says trump has plenary power meaning Trump has absolute power. Then stops talking because he knows he messed up. @kendallyb.bsky.social shows us CNN edited out the mistake in future broadcasts.

@mikiesherrill.bsky.social is standing firm against the Republican cruel Big Ugly budget scheme to rip away healthcare & drive up costs for millions of us.

While Republicans stand for billionaires, Mikie is fighting for NJ families to keep their coverage & to lower costs.

Early vote 10/25!

Sherrills statement on the shutdown:
Sherrill Slams Republican Government Shutdown
Washington Republicans have once again shown they're willing to turn their backs on the American people in order to blindly follow Donald Trump's demands. Instead of working with Democrats to lower costs, protect health care, and support working people, Washington Republicans bent the knee to Donald Trump, shutting down the government in the process.
New Jersey families and the American people deserve far better. Washington Republicans must come to the table immediately to find a bipartisan consensus on a plan that reopens the government, keeps costs from rising even higher, and extends critical healthcare tax credits that working families rely on.

What's happening with the government shutdown? Simply put, Republicans are holding the government hostage to get their extreme agenda passed.

Democrats are fighting for a fair budget that benefits everyone.
#ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT WHY? THEY'D RATHER SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT THAN SAVE YOUR
HEALTH CARE.
BUT WE'RE IN A HEALTH CARE CRISIS: 15 MILLION PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOSE
THEIR HEALTH CARE. MILLIONS ARE ABOUTTO SEE THEIR
PREMIUMS SKYROCKET.
IT'S SIMPLE: DEMOCRATS THINK PEOPLE DESERVE
HEALTH CARE.
